Matt1892 Posted August 23, 2025 Share Posted August 23, 2025 We won’t need two strikers unless we are completely subservient to Liverpool and let them bend us over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - get Jackson in and with it being a World Cup year and window being closed isak will be playing come start of afcon. If isak goes then buy a £30m or so striker like villa or Brighton always seem to or get vardy in for one season - either way to not buy a 24y/o with not a bad record (around one in three) and gets in a lot more positions, is a handful and seemingly wants to play rather than just pick up money like some then I’m all in personally.

Andy Posted August 23, 2025 Share Posted August 23, 2025 14 hours ago, WinstonFC said: So why not try and sign a striker who wont be missing for 6 games. If a player improves you over the course of a full season, you don't pass on signing them just because they'll be missing for a month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCON players probably leave middle December. So technically a club could line up a signing to arrive 1/1 and not have as much of an impact. Never happens of course.

r0cafella Posted August 24, 2025 Share Posted August 24, 2025 I wouldn't be surprised if we cobbled up a last minute deal for this lad. We've had a good relationship with them since our takeover and it seems they want rid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deal at around 50m is also ok for us. 10m a year cost means the deal could actually be cheaper than Wissa on an annual basis oddly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the forum is suffering from some kind of syndrome adjacent to stockholm. Every time I've seen this guy his decision making has been awful and seems to have an attitude problem as well.

McCormick Posted August 24, 2025 Share Posted August 24, 2025 Are we even in for him? Feels like a contingency plan if Isak leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 24, 2025 Share Posted August 24, 2025 At this point I think he's the player with the best guarantee of us having what we need as a team to compete at the level we want to. For all his issues with finishing, IIRC Chelsea's good form over the last few seasons has always coincided with Jackson playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 24, 2025 Share Posted August 24, 2025 Still have a feeling this'll be a deadline day buy (or loan if Wissa arrives) because that'll be the cheaper way to do it. That's banking on no one gazumping us mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted August 24, 2025 Share Posted August 24, 2025 he’s the most similar profile to Isak that’s available. Just doesn’t have the dribbling or finishing ability. I think we’d create a lot of chances for him, it’s just about improving those parts of his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted August 24, 2025 Share Posted August 24, 2025 (edited) He’s the only striker available at the quality level we need as a minimum Edited August 24, 2025 by Andy84 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crayola Kid Posted August 24, 2025 Share Posted August 24, 2025 Our team this year should be comfortably better than the Chelsea side of 23/24 in which Jackson scored plenty. Fucking Isak was aal about tap ins anyways, Wor Jacko can do that just as well surely. I'm not crying, you're crying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 24, 2025 Share Posted August 24, 2025 He won’t join on loan Chelsea have a condition with UEFA that they must earn more from sales than they buy this window or else be banned from registering this window’s signings. they want to buy more and are in deficit so they will want to sell Jackson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has all the attributes to be one of Howe's favourite foot soliders in terms of his play style... but he is an absolute headcase, and not in the Bruno "will literally take a bullet for you because you leant him 50p once back in Primary School" kind of way that is ultimately good for a team.
